Pioneer Trail - Current Known Issues - Advice

Howdy Pioneers, here are some of the current issues that we have identified, and advice on how to work past them:

The Museum - Archaeology Kits
Players need to craft 2 archaeology kits for task 2 of mission 1 "Jurassic Frontier". Some players are reporting loosing that task progress before finishing the mission.
After you craft the 2 archaeology kits,  do not "dig" until you finish mission 1. You need to keep the 2 archaeology kits for task progress, and digging consumes them.

Ferris Wheel - Players unable to fish in the fishing pond
We are aware of this issue and are working on a fix for it.
Workaround: If you move your fishing pond to a space on your homestead so it is not touching other buildings, you will be able to fish like normal.
 
Trees not growing – Players worried about the growth rate of trees.
Trees generally 2 weeks to fully grow on the Homestead
